I like that - "world class". Thanks dude. I think. LOL! I'm gonna write that down in my note pad. I just have to sort through my pocket protector here to find it...

Ivory is 99.99% pure. I guess marketing does work. Thanks for the link Headscan. :-)

Ok here's a little of my nerdy chemistry side coming out. Soap - almost all soaps - have phosphates. These are not good for the environment. If you notice a lot of laundry detergents are now "Phosphate Free". I used to work at a water treatment plant and this was a major concern and we tested for it weekly. I can't for the life of me remember why it is harmful but a quick Google search should clear that up. Anyhoo - the soap sold for camping is eco-friendly - comes in those little bottles at Wholesale, MEC, etc. That works well and is eco-friendly. I have to go repair my glasses with some scotch tape now.

Seems like you like to bitch and complain about bitchers and complainers. That would make you a bitcher and complainer. I'll get the gas, you can light yourself on fire.

Wow x2!

Great pics and story! The effort is worth it.

Been meaning to get down there myself I'm just never downtown however I do have a weekend without my wife so perhaps a visit this weekend. Chris is a really nice guy and very knowledgeable. Chris you working this weekend?

AGREED!

Damn gorbies. Ummm...what's a gorbie?

Dude you have the coolest toys.

I'm off to do some exploring next week on the FTR from Cochrane north. Not sure how far I'll venture but I have a full week. I'm wondering if anyone has any reports of hazards in any areas (other than the normal stuff) that I should keep in mind? i.e. frequent bear sightings, cougar sightings, sasquatch, etc.

Oh yeah that's right, it was all access due to the fires.

Thanks Harps. I was just thinking what the heck does one do when the people you report do don't care? I suppose everyone has a boss, you just have to figure out who it is. Mine is my wife.

There was some temporary closures a year or two back wasn't there? I think that may have been driven by the fire hazard though.

Sounds like you had the same run in I had years ago although there were no guns. The response from the RCMP infuriates me. Making a point of feeling threatening by someone with a rifle (registered or not on his land or not using the gun for legitamate reasons or not) should be taken a little, no a LOT more seriously regardless of who started it.

I haven't seen it yet, highest I've seen so far is 16.

Go back and look for tracks.

Good on ya for being the bigger guy and letting it slide. Shame on them for the attitude.

Looks photoshopped to me too. But still a nice fish.

I have seen a deer dead in a river before as well as a cow, birds, and something I couldn't identify - I think it was a skunk.

haven't you seen the commercials?

I just downloaded FlySim, a cool little fly fishing simulator. It's kind of fun. http://www.flysim.com/

Check the prices, last time I checked it was just a touch more and the boat came with a guide. But I could be mistaken.

Great report, love the bully with the cutty in its mouth.

Cataract, small ponds around as well.
